The Lords’ Constitution Committee has given its verdict on the government response to its report Surveillance: Citizens and the State

we are disappointed that the Government’s response does not fully appreciate the danger posed by surveillance to privacy and the relationship between individuals and the state. We regret that the Government have not agreed to a number of important recommendations which sought to assist the executive in promoting the responsible and proper use of data processing, including data sharing, together with other modes of surveillance.

Man, this penny is going to drop soon…
